Black sapote fruit (chocolate pudding fruit, Diospyros nigra) is an unusual, seldom exported, island treat. A cousin of the persimmon fruit, they can be eaten sweet or savory out of hand, sliced or pureéd, or used in a multitude of places where you would want a rich fruit pulp.

Pick up a few and try them in smoothies. They can be combined with citrus as handily as with dairy and a pinch of sugar, so experiment and see how you like them best!

Black sapotes are generally the size of slicer tomatoes and grow on mid-sized trees with dark green foliage that resemble avocado trees, but are more resilient.
